FSLTL or AIG?

FSLTL for me any day

 

Thanks

FSLTL.  Its installer is great, easy to config the number of static and live traffic as well as its other controls and quite frankly out of its 2000 liveries I'd be hard pressed to name 50.

The guys at FSLTL simply refuse to make 1440 textures available as an option and I have no idea why.

Yeah.

I don't get this either.

AIG.

Easy to use and way more variety. New and updated aircraft models releasing frequently, plus not to mention the work Kai does to continually improve AIM and AI traffic in a bugged MSFS.

But AFAIK you can run both together to get the results you want, unless you don’t use live traffic like me, where AIG is far superior.

Yeah, I don't understand how liveries are missing for so many people, where are they flying Transylvania? 😉

AIG always. Much more liveries and my biggest reason, the special liveries. Take Southwest AIG has all special liveries. And Kaii is always improving the programs. Downloader is working perfect now, and you can simply choose the texture size. I use it for live traffic.

Combination FSLTL and AIG with PSXT

 

No AI package will fix the hideous 3 point take-offs and landings prevalent with this version of MSFS.

So the answer to the OP question, so far, is that its down to personal taste and preference. 😁

I’ve taken a long break from AIG. Then I recently re-installed it and was surprised how much better the UI is, both in the manager and the controller.

FSLTL is still easier to install, but AIG is closing in with its “one-click” concept. And it has far more models and flight plans. And I find the TC UI way better than FSLTL. 

Not sure about performance though, but I like the 0-100% slider in AIG-TC. I once tested it at 100% at KJFK - not recommended! The mainthread has never suffered as much… 

That’s a very unfair comparison to FSLTL though as I’ve been using max 30 IFR and max 30 parked aircraft. With AIG at 100% I had 300+ AI in the vicinity…

As I see it, both FSLTL and AIG cater, mainly, to the commercial airlines crowd. Large airports which means that we are flying an airliner. I have to wonder how many of us actually get the time to hang around in an external view and ogle the traffic around us even to the point of focusing on decals on the AI models.
Personally, I have too much going on in the flight deck prepping the flight to meet my slot time so 1440p textures and 4000 models instead of "only" 2000 means very little to me.
I'm happy with FSLTL and the convenience it offers.

One man's trash is another man's treasure.

Some people like to discover the world in a flight simulator that has the entire world as content. And by the way Transylvania has 8 million inhabitants and is part of a big european country (Romania), so you could have definitely come up with a much more exotic place to prove your point. To which I'd then respond "The more exotic, the more interesting to fly in".

I prefer AIG because the number of liveries/airlines and aircraft

Sometimes I just plane watch.

it was easier in FSX/P3D as it had an option to switch your camera to follow an AI aircraft.

You can technically still do that in dev mode, but there’s no label on the menu telling you what the aircraft/sim object is.

Hey, you shouldn't underestimate Transylvania, it's a hidden gem!

I am only wondering if I miss any models when having the FSLTL base package not installed

 The only model that FSLTL adds that isn't included with AIG is the MD11.
